• Ryan Adams Plans to Cover Taylor Swift's '1989' in the Style of The Smiths

    Singer-songwriter Ryan Adams shared details on his forthcoming project to cover Taylor Swift's 1989 in the style of Manchester's The Smiths. Revealing a behind the scene glimpse into the project via Instagram, Adams captioned his latest creative endeavor as "1989 as played by The Smiths." Featuring well-loved tracks like "Style," "Welcome To New York," and "Blank Space," it can be presumed that Adams' revamp of her recordbreaking release will only increase the pop star's already monolithic appeal.

  • Ryan Adams Finally Performs Bryan Adams' 'Summer of '69' [WATCH]

    Ryan Adams went on a streak last year of performing gnarly cover tunes. Danzig's "Mother" and Alice in Chains' "Nutshell" made the cut in 2014 along with "Run to You" by often-mistaked-counterpart Bryan Adams. Earlier this week during a show at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, Adams returned to the Canadian rocker's songbook to treat fans to his massive hit "Summer of '69" more than decade after an audience member requested the tune.

  • Ryan Adams and Natalie Prass Do a 'Dirty Dancing' Cover

    Count me among those who worship at the altar of indie rocker Ryan Adams. He is quite simply one of the best when it comes to doing an amazing cover of classic songs. From Oasis's "Wonderwall" to Alice in Chains's "Down in a Hole" and so many in between, he never fails to impress. During a live show Tuesday, March 3, in Cork, Ireland, Adams and opening act Natalie Prass took on a classic from the soundtrack to 1980s classic 'Dirty Dancing.' No, it wasn't "(I've Had) the Time of My Life," as you might expect, but instead leading man Patrick Swayze's song "She's Like the Wind." It was everything you could have hoped for and more.

  • Grammys 2015: 'Who Is Beck' Trends on Twitter After 'Morning Phase' Beats Out 'Beyoncé' for Album of the Year

    Following Beck's big upset over Beyoncé for Album of the Year, confused millennials flocked to Twitter in order to joke about the win and find out about the artist. "Who is Beck" had a brief but impressive trending stint on the social media site during the tail end of the 2015 Grammys. Beck supporters took to Twitter to help out the BeyHive and enlighten them as to who the "Morning Phase" artist is.

  • Grammys 2015 Best Rock Album, Who Should & Will Win: Can Ryan Adams Beat Out U2, Beck and The Black Keys?

    The Best Rock Album category isn't normally a big deal at the Grammys, which is really a celebration of everything pop. This year is a different story, though. U2 is up for the award thanks to their September release, Songs of Innocence, or better known as That One They Gave Away for Free. The Irish band caught a fair amount of criticism from iTunes users and fellow musicians when the album magically appeared in their digital libraries. That will be the big storyline going into Sunday for the Rock Album category rather than the fact that Ryan Adams, Beck, The Black Keys and Tom Petty all had spectacular titles to their credit in 2014.

  • Grammys 2015 Best Rock Song Nominees, Who Should Win & Who Will Win: Jack White, Paramore and The Black Keys Duke It Out

    On Monday, Feb. 2, we lamented the lack of experimentation in the 2015 Song of the Year category, and there is not much to be excited about in the Best Rock Song category, either. Album of the Year rivulet "Blue Moon" -- from Beck's "Morning Phase" -- is one of the favorites, along with Paramore's "Ain't It Fun" and Jack White's "Lazaretto." Who should win and who will win at the Grammys?

  • Ryan Adams, Jenny Lewis Perform on 'Austin City Limits' with "Stay with Me" and "Just One of the Guys" [WATCH]

    Ryan Adams and Jenny Lewis performed on the PBS series "Austin City Limits" Saturday, Jan. 24, kicking off the show's 40th season. While Adams's set spanned recordings from 2002 until last year ("Stay with Me"), Lewis relied heavily on her recent "The Voyager" LP with tunes like "Just One of the Guys." Some welcome surprises were Adams doing "When Summer Ends" from 2014's "1984" EP and Lewis digging into Rilo Kiley's "Silver Lining," "Consequence of Sound" noted.
